Abstract

It is desirable to possess an in vitro digestion track model that can mimic to the fullest possible extent what is going on in a targeted animal system. Presently, there is still a long way before such a system becomes a reality despite a few attempts having been made in recent years to realise such a ‘dream’. Here, the design and laboratory experiences on a newly constructed in vitro rat stomach system are reported. Fine rice starch particles (obtained from cooked rice) have been used as the model food fed into the model stomach. Since the focus was on the motility effect, the microbial effect is neglected. The effects of motility rate and amplitudes of mechanical operation automated in the current rig have been focused upon and examined. The results are illustrative for a near-future development of a more effective construction of in vitro systems.
